DacharyWhy? Just, why. Why is everything a Discord now?
I hate it.

Discord is a CHAT APP!
If you have static information to convey, that does not belong in a CHAT APP!
IT SHOULD BE A WEBSITE!
Chloé Raccoon@dachary @patterfloof today I discovered a set of websites for maps of Pokémon go, gyms, stops, etc. the site tells you what it does... To view anything there's just a discord login. Can I nuke these "websites" from orbit?
Rachael L@dachary Me: Oh this is an interesting new library or app. I wonder how it works?
<clicks around, can't find docs other than very high level things, see "join our discord">
Me: oh well I guess it isn't that interesting
<closes tab>

Drikanis@dachary me every time some project's "documentation" is just a link to their Discord.
Cassandrich@dachary Because webdev bs made it so people think you need some node based build process and k8s clusters to have a website rather than typing html in notepad and uploading it. 🤬
They've totally destroyed the feeling that normal people can click "view source" and learn to make a website.

rugk@dalias @dachary I mean, after all, you don't even need a web page.
Use a public wiki or, if you want a web page, some simple thing as GitHub Pages or #Neocities. It works…

also it's literally encouraging people to ask the same question over and over and over again.
a support page/a wiki with a forum is by far superior, just from a contributor time management perspective.

Bill@dachary Something is broken. I can't favorite this more than once.
jeffsussna@dachary I don’t understand the problem. Microsoft Teams chats work perfectly well for documentation in corporate environments. 😜
@jeffsussna @dachary you probably use onenote too
Brian Clark@dachary PREACH!

Indeed it is! There have been multiple pushes by certain individuals at work to migrate all our online community to Discord (albeit from Basecamp which is hardly great) but it has yet to fly, most people just don't bother to use it but those who do seem to think it's God's gift to the world of online communications!
It really isn't.

cholling@dachary A website? You mean where just, like, ANYBODY could read it?

StarkRG@dachary I'll also accept a well-organised Gopher site.
John TimaeusIf it can't be easily printed, it isn't documentation.
As much as I hate both markdown and pdf; If it's not documented in either of those or simple text - it isn't documented and therefore doesn't exist.
Mr Midnigh7@dachary but discord keeps everything forever... Isn't that the same thing? A website when you delete things they are gone, discord however, those photos you put up as documentation but then deleted, they're still out there on a server if you have the url... That's as static as it gets isn't it? /s
Honestly I'm kind of over discord and wish there was a better platform.
